Windows pc calling home (even while asleep) - eviltoast

I have a network-wide pi hole and I noticed that it requested activity.windows.com, a url blocked by my pi hole, even while my pc is suspended. I pinged 10.0.0.217 and it is currently unreachable. So, somehow, windows pc’s turn on networking, phones home, and turns off even while suspended.

    There’s tons of SteamVR for Linux fixes flowing in right now. Assuming Valve doesn’t break anything, the setup on AMD cards with KDE is now just:

    • Set GPU to VR performance mode
    • Install SteamVR
    • Disable async reprojection
    • Start SteamVR
